Ah, sorry about that - I forgot this.

OK, I fixed a typo in emacs-recutils synopsis and formatted Git
messages.  You could look for messages examples with a handy command
‘vc-print-log’ in Emacs which is binded to ‘C-x v l’ by default.  Also I
modified a description a little bit for better searching if you don't
mind.  Pushed as 535a69e9e5aae2f59470caf900ece56f83ee6e36 to master.

Thanks,
Oleg.
